Valentine's Week at the Wickaninnish Inn
February 12, 2006
Valentine's Day falls on a Tuesday this year. So, what is a lover to do? Should the romance start on the Tuesday or during the weekend before the day of love? The timing may be in question, but the location is not. All true romantics know that, no matter when one celebrates the annual love-day, it should be done at the Wickaninnish Inn on the west coast of Vancouver Island .
And then one must decide on the Valentine's gift... chocolates, flowers, fine wine? What is the most appropriate gift for a lover? No need to decide that either. The team at the Wick will supply them all.
This year the romantics at the Wickaninnish Inn have put together an exquisite Romance Package for anyone wanting to make the ultimate statement of love. The package includes a two-night stay at the Inn , along with the little touches that will make this visit to Tofino most memorable.
Lovers must dine, and dine in fine style! Therefore included in the package is a dinner at in the Pointe Restaurant. Daily, Chef de Cuisine Andrew Springett creates a unique "Tasting Menu". For one special evening during the 2-day stay, the couple will enjoy delectable items from Chef Springett's kitchen. While dining, the couple's guestroom will be transformed into a haven for lovers; fire roaring in the private fireplace, sparkling wine and chocolate dipped strawberries left on the table, over-sized soaker tub filled with hot water and rose pedals, and music playing low, setting an enchanted mood for the couple when they return to their guestroom.
A couple's massage is included in the package and will be booked for the lovebirds to enjoy in either one of the private couple's treatment rooms, a treatment room with a view of the Pacific Ocean, of course. If side-by-side spa treatments are not enough to keep the couple connected, how about private couple's massage instruction, offered in the intimate setting of the couple's deluxe guestroom. One of the professional Massage Therapists of the Ancient Cedars Spa will lead the couple in their own 2 hour massage training session.
It is still storm watching season in Tofino, so when not receiving a massage, or experimenting with newly honed massage skills, the couple might fancy a relaxing walk on Chesterman Beach, watching the waves crash in while listening to the pounding surf.
To ensure that the couple is prepared to embrace each day in fine Wick fashion, breakfasts on both days of the visit are included in the package.
Valentine's Week, the week of love, is the perfect time to take that long awaited trip to the west coast of Vancouver Island . You have put it off long enough. Packages prices start at $1516.25, based on double occupancy.
